The DA saw a small decline from 12.73% to 11.20%, while the EFF further improved its support in the province — up to 18.63 % from 13.21%. The Freedom Front Plus meanwhile, replicating its success elsewhere in the country, scored 4.33 % of the vote in the province, up from 1.72% in 2014.Khadija Patel pushes words on street corners.
